Hello chatters,
just adding an idea I came across on a mailing list several years ago:
>"It's wonderful where you find ideas for reading gravestone lettering. I came across this in a detective story called "Grave Misgivings' by Kate Callison. I haven't tried it and I don't suggest that anyone does it but the method is to use a can of shaving foam and a rubber squeegee and a bucket of water.
You spray the foam on the area of the inscription and then squeegee off the excess foam. The foam fills the indentations and the letters are supposed to become readable. When the inscription has been deciphered or photographed the inscription is cleaned down with the contents of the bucket.

Haven't tried it but at least it's low tech!
